Policies: Lot of employee friendly policies and initiatives from HR department. Many cultural events are organised by HR and celebrated properly by employees.
Infrastructure: Nice and huge buildings and all necessary equiments and well organised laboratories with employee safety arrangments. In built medical facilities and annual medical checkups....Read More
Dislikes
Policies:- people are divide into internal projects and client projects. There is nothing for employees who are in internal project. There is no life balance,proper increment and using old technologies.

I get to learn different skills by having unlimited access to udemy and learning access also I do not have an ego to work in development. So when I was released from first project I got support role which then transitioned to kafka project
Dislikes
Promotions and Hikes are invisible. It's based on pure luck If you get a promotion, in-hand salary gets increased in very slow manner.
TCS is an organization that keep a tagline "Building on Beliefs" but don't stay on their words. I feel it's a worst company and following primitive methodologies of work. Once the organization was saying only 25% of workforce will work from office by 2025 now has changed their words.
Woth no work life balance, and minimum salary bands, I feel it's an organization forcing their employees to scramble with stupid policies.
Being such a big organization, it should lead the Digital work Real life. But again, it is promoting and forcing employees to WFO inefficiently. It is an organization which don't give increments and promotions even if you are getting 5/5 points in reviews.
In name of promotion, you will get more work and responsibilities without any increase in salary.
In one word, the suffocation is increasing day by day in TCS.
Also, Somebody, once joined TCS at early stage feels incompetent to the job market....Read More
Except job security there is nothing which can help you to grow your career neither skill nor salary or opportunities.
If you want to develop your skills or willing to get benifits you need to be always good with manager even he is not a nice with you. Here people's get good hike and appraisals when they have good contact with manager, if not forget benifits from company even you working hard.

There is nothing to like. If you like comfortable life then join tcs and do not expect anything else.
Dislikes
Nothing new to learn new. Most of the projects are support very few development projects. If you are lucky then you get chance to work in development projects. My suggestion if you are new in professional career never join TCS. Learning graph is linear salary hike and promotion is almost negligible

The job security is top notch and a very friendly environment among the team members
Dislikes
There is less scope for juniors to gain deep knowledge about the technologies when they will be working in a project
It is good only for the people who dont want to grow and learn just like govt employees. But with a twist that your salary will not be incremented OR just 1% for media sake.
Dislikes
Never join this company before and age of 50. No learning, no appraisal, no growth, no team bonding.

Well the fact that every month the salary gets credited and maybe job security that's it
Dislikes
No employee perks or benefits.
Powai branch has bad food services in there cafeteria and after multiple complaints no stringent actions are taken for improvement.
No Diwali gifts not even sweets.
There are many things to dislike thats the reason I am planning to leave now. What will I do of job security if I am not happy with my work.

Work Life Balance when no task.
Work individually but compared with 1k - 2k individuals at the time of appraisal
3 months notice period is less, it should be 1 year so that the attrition rate will become 0.
Dislikes
Every company is same when deliverables are there.
No Promotion even you work 20 hrs and delivering good results.
No Hike, Freshers should not consider joining this.
Come after 10-12 years of experience and enjoy your life by creating problems to juniors.
No specific working days, if you have task you have to work because after this you will be considered for appraisal 😉

There is no growth in TCS. Appraisals range from 2-6% which is very less. You have to come 5 days to office. TCS is extremely regional and you will start feeling like a outsider there.

Only the job security and the exceptional health insurance is there which can be easily replaced in a different job.
Dislikes
Most annoying thing about working in TCS is that the company thinks it is making an impact in giving jobs which is true but in turn they are only making the candidate suffer more by scattering the future of his/hers.
